Wasn't there a big shoe about to drop?

[SHRED]

The internet was filled with speculation yesterday about a bombshell regarding tRump coming soon.
Did I miss it?

1. yup - the Frum tweet that major MSM sitting on a biggie.

3. May have been Frum's wishful thinking

He seemed to be reading between the lines of Trump's media attacks. Who knows if there's something scandalous about to hit. But no one would be surprised. Which says all you need to know about this jackass of a President.

14. Yes -- it's clear from the context of Frum's tweets, that he was speculating

based on DT's tweet about the press being the enemy of the American people.

2. I'm still waiting on Tom Arnold

4. No. Trump tweeted that the media was the enemy of the people

Several people, including David Frum, speculated that there must be a big story coming if trump was trying to discredit the media again (Frum indicated he was speculating by saying he was "decoding" Trump's tweet, but a lot of people seemed to have missed that and thought he was claiming a big story was about to drop)

6. That's it.

A "decoded" tweet.

Although "insane blathering" would decode pretty good, too.

5. Tuesday is the next business day. nt

7. Lately, I've been thinking about the Scooter Libby quote about the aspens...

turning. "They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them." Somebody's going to turn, and then...

8. Until the shoe makes a loud slap on the floor, it's all Fitzmas...

I've seen too many fizzles to get excited about "big revelations" until they actually come out and reveal something.

9. On DU, there's always a big shoe about to drop.

Sometimes, even boots are predicted.

10. Yup. Couple of things going on.

It certainly seems that everything is coming to a head.

Frum's tweet said he'd "confirmed" that "one or more of NYT, CNN or NBCNews has a very very damaging story in the pipeline …"
As senior editor for The Atlantic, I highly doubt he'd just throw that out as supposition.

Army Secretary withdrew. Navy Secretary withdrawing. First National Security Advisor resigned. Two potential replacements withdrew. I think it is more than dysfunction that is keeping them away. All nominees have ties to the IC and probably know what is coming down. Just a guess, but in light of Reuters article today on the FBI investigations, it makes sense. Also hard to think that the FBI is going to just left Flynn go without a fight. Based on what's in the Reuters article, seems to me they'd obv want to squeeze him for all they can get. But hey, what do I know.

Also little Twitter droplets about White House & porn (also involving Russia). Eichenwald hitting porn sites for his report, etc.

12. Also, they may have to confer with their Legal Eagles before getting these stories out

Trump is sue happy....funny though how he is no longer threatening to sue about these "Fake" stories..

[Native]

13. Not threatening to sue. That had totally escaped me. Good call.

[Bucky]

11. I prefer the shoes that get thrown at the heads of idiot presidents

Our Republican friends have been blessing us with a real bounty of those lately.

15. Maybe you need to change your watch from regular hours to business hours
